  • Harryhausen's Masterpiece - no question mark

    Okay, you simply can't rate it by 21st century standards - that would make no sense. Okay, it has a cheeky, cheesy quality that would look bad in today's films, but that's part of its magic. I must have seen thousands of movies since that glorious today in 1963 (or was it 1964, I wasn't into dates at that age) and I've probably forgotten at least ninety-five percent of them, but this one is burned into my memory.

    Obviously, Ray Harryhausen is the one reason for its greatness. I'm so glad the DVD came with an interview with the great man. This is one of those films that launched a thousand imitations, but none of them could touch it.

  • Must be the most disputed movie of all time

    I had mixed feelings about the movie, but I have decided to go with an 8 because it is really good once it gets going, and also because of the large number of people who "reviewed" the film without saying anything at all about it. The direction and production values generally are quite strong for an indie film, and the main actors do a very good job. Melissa Joan Hart (playing against her best-known type) and Jesse Metcalfe are excellent in the lead roles, though I think Ernie Hudson was the stand-out performer.

    I am not qualified to judge the truthfulness of the accusations at the heart of the film, but they seem to be on par with other anti-Christian judgments that have made it into the news.

    As an aside, I think it is very sad when people use a review column to download their own gripes about issues, especially when the issues are extraneous to the film.

  • Should have been a much better film

    Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes is a classic, and possibly his best work. This film should have been a great success, with a good cast, and especially with Bradbury himself writing the script from his own novel, but alas, it was not.

    Several reviewers have suggested that it should be remade with modern special effects. This may be a good idea, but the effects were generally pretty good for the early '80's, and in my opinion the major problem lies elsewhere.

    Ultimately, this is a suspense film with very little suspense. This is particularly obvious in the climactic scenes in the library, which should have dripped with suspense, but actually felt flat. Which presumably points to the director and perhaps the editors.

    This is surprising, as Jack Clayton had a fairly high reputation and made some very good movies, but perhaps he was just no good in the suspense genre.

    Whatever the reason, this was a reasonably good movie which should have been much better.
